ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE INVISIBLE MAN The INVISIBLE MAN. Flatland is a study in MATHEMATICS and PERCEPTION, and has stayed popular since its first publication. In the second part, Mr Square travels in a dream to the one-dimensional universe of Lineland, whose inhabitants are unable to conceive of a two-dimensional universe he is in turn visited from Spaceland by a three-dimensional visitor - named Sphere because he is spherical - whom Mr Square cleverly persuades to believe in four-dimensional worlds as well. The first is a highly entertaining description of the two-dimensional world of Flatland, in which inhabitants' shapes establish their (planar) hierarchical status.

Narrated and illustrated by Mr Square, the novel falls into two parts.

ABBOTT, EDWIN A(BBOTT) (1839-1926) UK clergyman, academic and writer whose most noted work, published originally as by A Square, is FLATLAND: A ROMANCE OF MANY DIMENSIONS (1884). In The Monkey-Wrench Gang (19) and its sequel, Hayduke Lives! (1990), this pessimism is countered by prescriptions for physically sabotaging the polluters of the West which, when put into practice, nearly displace normal reality structure-hitting, as practised by 21st century saboteurs in Bruce STERLING's Heavy Weather (1994), seems to derive from EA's premise Good Times (fixup 1980) is set in a balkanized USA after nuclear fallout has helped destroy civilization an Indian shaman, along with other characters similar to those in The Monkey-Wrench Gang, fights back against tyranny. For mornings when you don’t know how you’re supposed to get started, this is your wakeup call of non-deadly lemon gas down in the trenches of your tiredness.SF&F encyclopedia (A-A) ABBEY, EDWARD (1927-1989) US writer, perhaps best known for his numerous essays on the US West, in which he clearly expresses a scathing iconoclasm about human motives and their effects on the world. Sour Diesel is heavy, gassy, pungent, sour, skunky, and above all, awesomely day-enhancing. Due to its energizing abilities, Sour D can help those that suffer from bipolar disorder (manic depression) or PTSD by giving them a boost of positive cerebrality. It can help you fight fatigue, get your appetite moving again, combat that pesky migraine, or even help with mood disorders. The stimulation and brain-electrifying feelings would get anyone up and moving (the 26% THC high doesn’t hurt either). The strain is invigorating and that gives it its main medicinal uses.įor those suffering from anxiety and depression, Sour Diesel can help you kick them through sheer mental energy. Sour Diesel is a great wake-and-bake strain to get your day started, especially if you’re a remote worker that wants some mental stimulation without worrying about how skunky-delicious you smell. The effects begin as a surge of cerebral energy, which promotes creativity and a feeling of get-up-and-go. The taste is earthy, herbal, gassy, and with an unmistakable aftereffect of lemon on your tongue. A pungent cloud of skunky haze (like Diesel Gas but after eating an entire fruit orchard), explodes from this bud in a dense, lemony fog. Speaking of aromas, Sour Diesel continues to earn its name as you smoke it. Either way, the plant grows lanky, throwing up a ton of foxtails around its dense, light green nugs, and releasing pungent odors into your indoor garden, like little skunk-citrus flower bombs. Particularly, Chemdawg 91 is suspected as a likely parent, along with possible candidates like DNL and Massachusetts Super Skunk. Researchers suspect that it was created accidentally from strains in the Chemdawg and OG Kush line. Sour Diesel’s lineage contains a little mystery. For a feeling of ultimate happy heaviness, Sour Diesel (also called “Sour Deez” and “Sour D” for short) brings a nearly pure 90% Sativa to bear on your restless mind. These added chemical compounds don’t alter the base effects of Sour Diesel, but they provide varied intensity that you can’t really calculate (or control). We don’t even know who bred it originally – most people call him/her “A.J.” or “Asshole Joe.” It not only comes packed with 26% THC on the high end, but also retains 2% CBD and 4% CBN during extraction, which is pretty unheard of. Sour Diesel will give you a terrific blast, a smash-in-the-face of Chemdawg and a Sativa we haven’t identified yet.
